São Paulo architecture is considerable and diverse. The construction covers a retail store having an indoors garden. Indeed, this is a rare and beautiful combination. Responsible for this installation was the Vão architectural office. “The invitation to design the new Acolá store came with great happiness because, due to the years of friendship between us and its creators, we have closely followed the trajectory of the brand since its beginning in 2012.” the architect suggested. It is great having a mutual understanding for a project, and acquiring that as a common ground collaboration is easier.

The store occupies 120 sq.m. centrally located in the city. In fact, the main goal for the restructure was to immense natural light within the store. “The desire to bring light into the store guided the first design decisions of replacing a part of the compromised structure with a glass ceiling and visually integrating the levels through partial demolition of the upper slab“. This is obvious by entering the store. The result is impressive. Enjoy.
